Book Review: Alfred Jones and Son, Bros. Travelling Undertakers And Soul Traders by Bob Sharp - By Sean Michael Paquet

First you begin with a base of professional and masterful writing.

Add in a dose of the macabre.
Throw in a handful or two of romance.
As well as a few spoons of the paranormal.
Stir in a dash of mystery and investigation.
Top it off with some grisly in-your-face humor.
Serve with a fine chilled vintage.
That is Alfred Jones and Son, Bros. The adventures of two very unusual Undertakers who end up signing a contract with the Devil in exchange for what they think is a good deal.
While not my genre, I was very impressed by such a well written story. Bob’s use of rustic and country English add a surprising depth to the characters and gives the reader a real feel for the time period and location of the story. The descriptions of his characters most certainly stand out, and paint a very realistic picture of Old Alfred, and Alfred Junior. Bob’s use of symbolism took me into the world of this story, and I was captivated. I was immersed in the story from page one, and by the time I had finished this most savory tale, I found myself wanting more. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys paranormal fiction with a little blood and guts mixed in for flavor. Well done Bob! I hope I have the opportunity to read more of your work in the future!

What is Your Value - by Sean Michael Paquet

What makes you Valuable?   OK, this post will be a little more about the self than it does about business, but the concepts still apply.  What makes you valuable? What do you value about yourself? What do other people that know you appreciate about you? Value. We can go on and on about friendship, love, partnership, and other similar concepts, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to value. What is your value to yourself, to other people, to the community? We all want to feel valuable. We want to know that we matter. Not just to ourselves, but also that our presence is valued. We want to know that somehow we contribute to the communal consciousness. What makes you valuable are your strengths. Those qualities about you that make you stand out from the slowly moving herd of humanity around you. Your strengths are what make you unique. That is your value. Firstly, YOU must see YOU as valuable to YOURSELF. This requires a great deal of self-reflection. You have to take a hard, hones

World Building in Science Fiction and Fantasy - By Sean Michael Paquet

  Hello Everyone! So today, I wanted to give you some of my insight into world-building. Now for some writers, it takes a great deal of time to realize the world in which they want their characters to adventure. For me, this world was part of my imagination form the age of five. For me, it became a fully realized and detailed world where I could escape from reality. That's how I look at it. However, when you decide to utilize that world as the stage for a story that other people will read, realization takes on a whole new meaning. The three fundamental rules that I follow are: 1.        Believability 2.        Consistency 3.        Immersion For my first novel, A Game of Gods, I set the stage very quickly using concepts, imagery, and symbolism that people could readily identify with. In essence, I created a world that already had a lot of real backstories that anyone could research on their own. This was important. I believe that people should be able to ide
